Hunter S. Thompson on Richard Nixon

From HBO's Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge, 2017.

"There is no such thing as objective journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms. It's the built-in blind spots, the objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place. Richard Nixon represents the dark side of the American Dream. Richard Nixon stands, to me, for everything that I not only have contempt for, but dislike and think should be stomped out -- greed, treachery, stupidity, cupidity, the positive power of lying, total contempt for any sort of human constructive political instinct. Nixon represents everything that's wrong with this country."

Hmm. Sound familiar?
